Errr SAVINGS UNDER PRESENT nu strut

C. N. R1. Experts Con- tinue Testimony Be- fore Senate Railway Committee.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

UITAWA June 15—Economles believed possible seven years ago from unification of the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways have been largely real- ized under the present se up by reductions operating expenses and other far-tors. the Senate Rall- way (xnnmittee was told today. Various witnesses. all officers cl.’ the C. N. 12.. emphaslzcd this point, and presented figures to show how the system itself had achieved the savings.

Sir-Edward W. Scotty's ii rc of $75,000,000 given to the ufi Commission by the C. P. R. pre- sident in 1931 and to the present commission. croppied up time and again. Today T. . Couper, comp- troller of the C. N. R. analysed last year's conditions and showed actual economies affected amounted to $47.499.l65.

Taking 1930 as a basis. the year which was examined by the Duff Commission. Mr. Ccuper indicated that the operating expenses of the National road then were $228,283.08. In 1937 the figures were $180,788,858.

Analyzes Figures

Mr. Oouper broke the figures do .1. In rail line transportation for a total of 525.048.4118 nad been saved. oi which $9,903,563 was due to train service.

On maintenance of wa and structures the saving was s 2M6.- 358. Other features -of railway operation showed other economies achieved.

By the side of the C. N. R. fig- ures Mr. Cou er set the economies t e C. P. R... making with the two and 1937. The private owned road had achieved savings amounting to 29,617,476. This 1 - ures, with All .076 saved by e Northern berta Railw , made an emanate total of $7 ,002.71'l.

Cholera Assumes Epi- demic Proportions In Shanghai — War Front inundated.

(By The Associated Press)

SHANGI-IAIJune 16—(Thursday) -Flood and cholera dame smoun- ted today in China, where peasant millions already were suffering from 11 months of warfare.

Rising floodwaters oi the Yellow River surged 50 miles south breaks in dikes near Chengchow. Central China's rail and. military crossroads.

Far from the war and flood fronts, the Shanghai Municipal Council officially declared cholera to be epidemic in Shanghai. In the city's hospltalsthere were 1.23 cas- es, 73 of them originating in for- eiwn-administered areas.

On the northern Shantung Pro- vince coast the British steamship Shuntien was quarantined at. Che- foo after one cholera death aboard. Eight. Chinese dried of cholera in Japanese-Occupied Soochow, 50 miles west of here.

Take Precautions

To block spread of the disease to Japan. the Japanese consulate- Kenerai ceased issuing bills of health to vessels proceeding from Bhflnshai to Japanese ports. ‘Thus all passengers without certificates 01' inoculation must undergo ex- amination before entering Japan.

(Dispatches from Lucknow, In- dia. in the area which in past years has been a startlng_p¢1n;,0g epidemics. said cholera had when 12,000 lives lil the past seven weeks in the united provinces.)

In flood-menaced areas Japanae engineers directing attempts to stem the inundation sold their pre- vious statements that 150.000 chl- nase had been drowned should be revised downward considerably.

Casualty and damage estimflws Were impomlble to obtain because 0f disrupted communications lnthe area.

The flood waters, fed by contin- uing rains. formed an ever widen- ing barrier between Japanese in. vaders and the north-south Pelp- lnk-Hankow Railway. which crosses the Lumzhai at Chemchow.
